Faulty Towers

They’re back! Come and see why this smash hit has been labelled ‘Immersive theatre at its startling best’ the world over.

A brilliant night is on the cards when the Faulty’s come to town. This is the show where you step inside the BBC Fawlty Towers TV series and see it from the inside out. Highly improvised, highly interactive, and fully immersive; where audiences join the action, becoming guests who play along with Basil, Sybil, and Manuel.

With two hours of comedy and three courses, expect chaos, laughs, and a brilliant night out.

Interactive Theatre International presents: Faulty Towers the Dining Experience – straight from London’s West End via the legendary Sydney Opera House, this international sensation is returning to the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club in May.

Officially the world’s most sought-after tribute to the original BBC sitcom, Faulty Towers the Dining Experience is simply unmissable – and ‘outrageously funny’ (BroadwayBaby)!

Become part of the action as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up mayhem on a plate. Expect nothing short of guaranteed fun. With over 70 per cent of the performance content (not the food) improvised, this is completely immersive and highly interactive comedy where anything can happen – and usually does!

An Australian creation that began in 1997, Faulty Towers the Dining Experience has been receiving critical and audience acclaim ever since. It has appeared in 41 countries and tours constantly in Australia, Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia. It also returns for extended seasons every year to Adelaide Fringe, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe, and has an ongoing residency in London’s West End. Having recently sold its millionth ticket, it is clear that this is the most successful interactive comedy show of its kind.

The cast for Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club is Gemma Drummond (Sybil), Jack Newell (Basil) and Andy Foreman (Manuel). Performer bios are on the About/Actors page at www.faultytowersdining.com

The show was a tremendous success when last in Mullum, selling out in record time and we are expecting it to sell out again. So, book early to avoid missing out.

Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club, Saturday 6 May 2023. Doors open 6.30pm, show starts 7pm.

Tickets: $75 – all tickets include a three-course meal and two-hour interactive show.
